11C-METPET在脑肿瘤中的应用

The applications of 11C-MET PET in brain tumor

  • 摘要: 11C-MET(11C-蛋氨酸)是目前用于肿瘤PET最多的氨基酸类显像剂之一,它能反映体内氨基酸的转运、肿瘤氨基酸的代谢及蛋白质的合成。11C-MET PET能用于脑肿瘤的诊断、区分肿瘤复发及放射性坏死,早期评价治疗效果,尤其对肿瘤周边组织及低度恶性肿瘤的诊断要优于18F-FDG PET、CT和MRI。

     

    Abstract: 11C-methionine (MET), an amino acid, is the most widely used radiopharmaceutics which can reflect transport metabolism of amino acid in vivo, and synthesis of protein in tumor.11C-METPET can be used for evaluation of brain tumor:detection of tumor, differential diagnosis between recurrence and radiation necrosis and early evaluation of response to treatment.Especially, for the definition of tumor margin and detection of low-grade tumors, PET with 11C-MET is better than PET with 18F-FDG or other modalities such as CT and MRI.
